We are looking for a talented Design Architect to join our team in Palma de Mallorca.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong creative and yet technical mindset who thrives on the entire creative spectrum, from shaping powerful architectural concepts to perfecting the subtle details that elevate a project from good to exceptional. Furthermore, the prospective architect should have an excellent command of German, a professional manner, strong communication skills, and experience in dealing with a discerning clientele. We expect the future employee to generate opportunities, relationships and to represent the company within the high-end market on the Balearics.

What We’re Looking For

• German language skills (min. C2 or native).
• Business Development, Networking and Client Management Skills.
• Experience in high end residential and / or hospitality architecture.
• Creativity and strong Revit capabilities.
• 10+ years of post-graduate experience.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently.
• Fluency in English and Spanish.
• Ability to work with visualization tools and translate ideas into compelling designs.

Architecture is not just about spaces—it’s about the people who shape them.

At Studio Akamá, you won’t just be another colleague; you’ll be part of a team that values trust, creativity, and shared purpose. Though we work from different locations, we are deeply connected by our commitment to responsibility, quality, craftsmanship, and meaningful design.

Our hearts are most closely tied to Mallorca, a hub connecting us to the rest of the world. This is our home base, and it is from here that we build, maintain and constantly expand our network.

• A studio where your voice matters—we collaborate closely with a flat hierarchy, we exchange ideas freely and support each other’s growth.
• A shared passion for architecture that lasts—we work with care, intention, and a deep respect for materials and place.
• A deep commitment to responsability - many of our projects are certified PassivHaus or Breeam, and we continue to break new ground with innovative use of materials and systems. We have been granted the status of "Intéres General" by the Spanish Government for our work in sustainable architecture
• A team that balances rigor and creativity—we strive for beauty in an environment where technical excellence and innovation meets human connection.

If you’re looking for more than just a job—if you want to contribute, grow, and be part of something bigger—we’d love to hear from you.
